This foundation concentrates its philanthropy almost exclusively through repeated, unrestricted support to a single community foundation serving the Lake Tahoe region. Grants are directed as general-purpose funding rather than earmarked program grants, indicating a preference for place-based, intermediary philanthropy that enables local grantmaking and community initiatives. Although the foundation is based in Las Vegas, its giving is focused geographically on the Tahoe area and on sustaining the capacity of a local community foundation.
Highly concentrated: all recorded grants go to a single intermediary grantee (Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation), delivered repeatedly and as general-purpose funding rather than multiple small organizations or program-specific awards.
James Stuart Haldan Charitable Foundation 59426-0 /-1 /-2 directs nearly all of its giving to a single local intermediary: The Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation Inc in Incline Village, Nevada. The recent record shows a clear pattern of general-purpose support rather than project-specific awards, with the foundation using unrestricted grants to sustain a community foundation serving the Lake Tahoe region. In 2024, the largest listed grant reached $425,381, and the 2023 record includes a long series of additional general-purpose awards to the same recipient, ranging from five figures to more than $300,000. That concentration suggests a funder focused on enabling local grantmaking capacity and community philanthropy through a place-based partner. Alongside that core relationship, a small number of $10,000 general-purpose grants went to other organizations in Nevada, Washington, and New York, but the grant history is dominated by the Tahoe-related intermediary. The foundation’s latest 990 year on file is 2024, and its annual grants totaled $1,632,994.
The clearest theme in the foundation’s recent giving is unrestricted support for a community foundation. The Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation Inc received multiple general-purpose grants in 2023 and 2024, including awards of $307,903, $258,132, $123,193, and $425,381. That pattern points to sustained backing for a local philanthropic hub rather than isolated project funding. The foundation also made smaller general-purpose grants outside that core relationship. Trails on Earth Foundation in Las Vegas received $10,000, showing some support for Nevada-based organizations beyond the Tahoe intermediary. Two other $10,000 general-purpose grants went to Hearts Fur Paws in Olympia and The Salvation Army in West Nyack, indicating a limited set of additional recipients alongside the main place-based focus.
Grant size is spread across a wide middle range, with p25 at $15,914, median at $44,751, and p75 at $70,840. The recent record suggests repeat support over time rather than one-off awarding: The Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation Inc appears in both 2023 and 2024, and many grants in 2023 went to the same organization. The foundation is not a vehicle for individual giving and does not make program-related investments. The grants shown are general-purpose awards, consistent with flexible support for grantees rather than restricted program funding. Its giving is local in scope and heavily centered in Nevada.
